How Flood Water Removal and Structural Drying Works in Eastpointe

1. Remove the standing water

   Technicians pull water from carpet and hard surfaces after confirming safe access.

2. Map the moisture

   Moisture readings establish where drying equipment must work.

3. Open what holds water

   Soaked padding can block drying of the floor beneath it.

4. Dry and verify

   The crew records progress until affected materials meet the drying plan.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Porous drywall absorbs floodwater along its lower edge. The crew checks the depth and contamination before deciding what can remain.

• Leave wet electrical areas alone and avoid sealing walls or floors before moisture checks.
• Stop the water source from a safe dry location if possible.
• Keep children and pets away from any dirty or electrically unsafe water.
• Photograph the wet area and move small dry belongings out of its path.
• Call (888) 399-5795 for 24/7 flood water removal.
